Hey I just wanted to share some of my experience with Kydex holsters so far.

First off I want to state that I believe holsters can definitely become a money pit. Iíve only bought 3 so far, but each time I buy one, I learn more about the other ones I already have, so maybe my experience can save some people money.

There was a massive difference. First off, the Kydex material is way thicker. It just feels like I here is no way it will ever lose shape. Notice the adjustment screws? Those help you customize the tension of how hard it holds the gun.

Youíll also notice the muzzle end is open. This allows usage with h threaded barrels or compensator equipped pistols. Similarly, the top is cut to accommodate a red dot sight. If you donít have any of these feature on your gun, it will still work fine, but nice and I know itís capable.

Lastly, no h of these holsters are set up with belt loops, but the brown one has many holes on the back so that you can mount it different ways. You can attach a Molle adapter, a quick detach plate, a mid ride drop adapter, all these are third party products but this holster is set up to be compatible with them.

All holsters have pluses and minuses. Both of these are not really good for ccw. But for what I use them for (securing a full size handgun to the outside of my waist for plinking or competition), there clearly is a quality difference when you spend a bit more.
